As promised, today's recipe was made on the same day that I posted "Pumpkin Pie Custard Ice Cream". After I made the ice cream, I tried to figure out what would complement the wonderful taste of pumpkin. Then it hit me-- gingersnaps! I've never made gingersnaps before, so I did a little research on the internet. Then I remembered that I have made only one recipe from Martha Stewart's Cookie's cookbook that I bought in early August.
I did make these Martha Stewart Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies, which I thought were good-- not fantastic, over the charts good...but, still, it was a nice cookie. This time, I honed in on the Gingersnap-Raspberry Sandwich recipe in the book. I always have pure maple syrup on hand (I never buy pancake syrup) and I like that this was included as a flavor addition to the cookie batter. Here's how they are made:
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, shortening, and 1 cup sugar on medium speed.
Beat in egg until well combined. Reduce mixer speed to low; slowly add the reserved flour mixture, a little at a time, until well blended.
Roll dough in sugar; transfer to a parchment paper covered sheet (or a Silpat). Lately, I find that I like to bake cookies on parchment paper, though I do own a few Silpat's. Your choice...
Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. They do deflate a bit, thank goodness! Form and bake the remaining dough.
The next day, though, I wanted to try a combination of raspberry jam and ginger cookies. Fortunately, this summer I made 12 half-pints of homemade reduced-seed raspberry jam. Did I blog about it. No, sorry. I figured that if I blogged on how to make raspberry jam, now that the season is over (except for where I live) you might want to cry. Here's a sample of it, though:
Spread about 2 teaspoons jam over half of the cookies; place a second cookie on top of jam-covered ones, making sandwiches. NOTE: My cookies didn't bake completely flat. Maybe I made the size of the dough balls to big? Maybe there should be more shortening ratio to the butter?
While these gingersnaps aren't quite the crispy consistency I am looking for to making a gingersnap crust (for baking), these cookies are easy to make.

Kate Upton and supermodels in movies: Can they act?
Kate Upton wore a sexy "nun-kini" in her last movie ("The Three Stooges"), which wasn't too far from her usual bits of fabric worn while modeling for Sports Illustrated. It will be interesting to see what kind of actress she'll be in her latest film, "The Other Woman," in which she has a bigger role and more clothes.
Upton's path follows that of many models who made the leap to the big screen. Or tried to. Some were better than others, some won Oscars and some made some terrible duds.
Check out the slideshow above to which models bombed and which became successful movie stars.
"The Other Woman," which also stars Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, comes out Friday.

Child Safety: Air PollutionSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Smog and particulate matter (such as pollen, soot, and dust) are examples of air pollution. Children's lungs are especially sensitive to the harmful effects of air pollution, because they breathe rapidly and inhale a high concentration of pollution relative to their weight.
Use care when you take your young child outdoors, especially for physical activities. When children exercise, they breathe more heavily than normal. Also, they breathe more through their mouths than their noses. This allows pollution to be inhaled more deeply into the lungs where it can cause permanent damage.
- Do not take your child out when the air quality index is 151 or above.footnote 1 This index is often reported in the news. You can also find it at http://airnow.gov.
- Go outside early in the morning in the summer and on days where smog may develop. On days that air is stagnant and temperatures reach over 90°F (32°C), smog levels usually peak in mid-to-late afternoon.
- Stay away from areas with heavy traffic.

With the mockumentary becoming a predominant comedic subgenre from NBC's "The Office" to Universal's "Bruno," Canadian comedian Jon Dore puts his own spin on the format.
In "The Jon Dore Television Show," which ran for two seasons on Canada's Comedy Network and will be given a Stateside run on IFC in August, Dore turns the mirror on himself rather than on another subculture.
Part scripted, part docu interviews, each episode finds Dore debating a life change, such as weight loss or gender questions, then needling noted experts with a Morgan Spurlock-like inquiry.
In the end, Dore learns that whatever quandary he was considering just isn't for him.
"The show's agenda has been to get some information from these professionals and try to get some comedic moments," Dore explains.
As he searches for love in one episode, Dore's troubled by the fact that most relationships fail. So he has a chat with those people who have found a loophole in romance: swingers. But as enticing as their lifestyle appears, Dore realizes that he could never be one, griping, "I'm way too jealous for that shit!"
In another episode he thinks he's a woman trapped in a man's body, but Dore has a quick change of heart after speaking with a transsexual, coming to the conclusion, "He's a man living in a man's underdeveloped body."
A 10-year vet of standup whose act focused on the woes of a thirtysomething single guy, the Ottawa native cut his teeth on "Canadian Idol" as a comedic co-host for three years before creating his own series.
Dore's man-on-the-street stylings, shaggy beard and flannel get-up are apt to draw comparisons to Tom Green. However, his humor is far more self-deprecating than the blunt shenanigans of his Great White North compatriot.
Nor does Dore have a hidden agenda in the vein of Ali G or Borat with the plastic surgeons, army officers and psychoanalysts he interviews.
"Sacha Baron Cohen exposes the ignorance of people with his characters," Dore notes. "If anything, I'm ignorant while trying to pull their pants down from time to time."
"I went out with a lovely lady and used the date rape drug for the first time. But you know what? It just made me really tired. I'm not taking that pill again."

The Top 10 'Out of Africa' Moments of All Time
This weekend the biggest clash of the Rugby Championship is arguably the game between the Springboks and the Wallabies in Cape Town. Over the years there have been some great moments taking place in South African rugby, so Sean Maloney and crew pay tribute to them with this extended Top 10 Out of Africa moments.
The guys at Rugby HQ in Australia have trawled their archives and come up with some classic clips, both humourous and great to watch for the quality of rugby.
Office Jannie, who you'll remember from their recent #BeatTheBoks campaign, makes a return to show Maloney and Nathan Sharpe all they need to know about braaing borewors and sosaties.
Then we get right into it, focussing on some of the most memorable moments in recent years.
Some of the clips on show include Robbie Fleck's howler against the Sharks in 2001, Bryan Habana's wonder try (scored from the restart after scoring another try) in 2005, lock Victor Matfield's chip and chase, and Stirling Mortlock's great winning kick from the touchline in 2000.
Below is part one but in the next segment, which is the actual Top 5, we have more great tries and funny moments, and one that British & Irish Lions fans might not want to watch. Fair to say it could be a bit of a dig from the good folk in Australia.

By the Numbers
"Think of the fish we used to eat free in Egypt," lamented the Israelites. Undoubtedly, they were remembering fine meals of flavorful perch from the Nile.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Rinse the fillets in cold water and pat them dry. Score the skin of each fish; then place it in a shallow, lightly greased pan with the skin-side down. Dice the onions and fry them with the garlic and pine nuts in olive oil until lightly browned. Stir in the water, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and paprika till it forms a pasty mix. Reduce the heat and add the currants.
Spoon the mixture over the fish. Bake for 15–20 minutes. Remove to a large platter carefully, as it may be flaky. Garnish with watercress, and surround with cherry tomatoes and crumbled hard-boiled eggs.
Yield: 8 servings
1 Now the people set up a lament which was offensive to Yahweh's ears, and Yahweh heard it.
4 The rabble who had joined the people were overcome by greed, and the sons of Israel themselves began to wail again, "Who will give us meat to eat?" they said.
5 "Think of the fish we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic!
6 "Here we are wasting away, stripped of everything; there is nothing but manna for us to look at."
7 The manna was like coriander seed, and had the ap pearance of bdellium.
8 The people went around gathering it, and ground it in a mill or crushed it with a pestle; it was then cooked in a pot and made into pancakes.
9 It tasted like cake made with oil. When the dew fell on the camp at nighttime, the manna fell with it.
31 A wind came from Yahweh and it drove quails in from the sea and brought them down on the camp. They lay for a distance of a day's march either side of the camp, two cubits thick on the ground.
"A wind came from Yahweh and it drove quails in from the sea… .The people were up all that day and night and all the next day collecting quails."
32 The people were up all that day and night and all the next day collecting quails.
Numbers 11:1, 4–9; 31–32a, The Jerusalem Bible
The book of Numbers is so named in English because a portion of the biblical tome deals with the numbering, or counting, of the Israelites, in the telling of the epic about how they came to be known as "the chosen people." The book's Hebrew title, "In the Desert," is perhaps more appropriate, as the majority of the book is the saga of a wandering people who have left Egypt and are on their way to a promised land. During this journey they test God often, and God in turn tests their allegiance. Sometimes the complaints to God are for basic needs: water and food. In chapter 11, the voice of the people is raised in anger: they are tired of manna, and they want meat! At least in Egypt there was meat and fish (they remind God), and lots of good fruits and vegetables, too! "Ah, we remember the good old days with great fondness," they seem to say, having forgotten that they were slaves in Egypt, and now murmuring against God as they trample on their new-found gift of freedom.
True, they had dust in their mouths, and it made them ungrateful. Even though the Israelites were a nomadic group of tribes who kept and nurtured animals that could provide them with meat, what they seemed to have wanted was variety, and they wanted it garnished with spices! Without the garnishes, they felt empty; they lacked the strength to continue (what was the point?); their souls were dried up, like the wilderness in which they were to wander for forty long years.
The people whose story is recounted in the book of Numbers might not have eaten as well as the meal shown here, but they would certainly have recalled the great variety of tastes they were missing, having left Egypt to wander in the wilderness.
It appears that however unpleasant it was in Egypt, the food was apparently good there, if not memorable. There were scores of species of fish, for instance: puffers, tetras, catfish, tilapia, carp, perch, minnows, squeakers, elephant fish, and many more swimming in the Nile, all for the having, and free! Cucumbers and melons, both of which are rich in water, were widely cultivated in Egypt as they grew well in the silt runoff from the nutrient-rich Nile. The cucumbers (in Hebrew, qishshuim, literally "gourd") mentioned here are not the garden variety we are used to seeing in Western markets. What is being described here are probably muskmelons or chate melons (an unsweet variety), and the melons (in Hebrew, abattichim) were most likely cantaloupes, casabas, or honeydew. Watermelon was also grown in Egypt from the earliest times, their seeds having been found in the tombs of the pharaohs. The people also remembered their taste for leeks (in Hebrew, chatsir, which literally means any type of grass, including hay); onions (in Hebrew, betsel); and garlic (in Hebrew, shum); but they were apparently unable to cultivate these vegetables until much later in their history, as these Hebrew words (abattichim, betsel, shum) do not appear again in the scriptures.
Still, there was always manna to keep their stomachs filled. Just what manna was has been the topic of thousands of historical, archaeological, and anthropological articles over the years. The biblical scholar F. S. Bodenheimer has theorized that manna was a kind of honeydew secretion of two types of insects that feed on the sap of the tamarisk, or salt-cedar bushes, that are native to the wilderness area mentioned in the Bible.1> Or perhaps, as others have suggested, it was either a dried form of algae or drought-desiccated and wind-dispersed lichen.2 The Israelite wanderers describe it as a kind of white substance, not unlike coriander seed, and sticky like bdellium, a resinous gum. It was boiled in pots or ground up so that it could be baked or made into cakes. It was most likely very bland, and a steady diet of mainly manna made the complainants long for the spices and sweetness of their former lives in servitude.
God does respond to their spates of unhappiness by sending quail (in Hebrew, selaw) from the sea inland (a story not unlike the experience of the Mormon pioneers at the Great Salt Lake). But the people's appetite is not sated, and they further complain—an action that angers God, who in turn complains to Moses about the greed of the tribes he is leading. When will they "possess the land of milk and honey as promised to them?" a growing angry mob wants to know. Whether it be happenstance or bad directions or God's stubborn insistence on teaching them to rely on Divine Providence, they still had many miles and years to travel.
According to the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible, generally accepted as canonical by Jews and Christians), Moses led an incredibly large group of Israelites out of Egypt and into the desert: the Book of Numbers indicates that the group included more than 600,000 men who were of the right age to serve as soldiers! If one also counts the women, children, and aged, the Israelites must have numbered well over one million persons. Unfortunately, there are few reliable extrabiblical sources to corroborate the narrative found in the scriptures, nor have archaeologists been able to unearth at this far-removed date evidence that would definitively prove the passage of such a large mass of people from Egypt through the Red Sea (a mistranslation of the Hebrew Yam Suf, which means "Sea of Reeds') and into the Wilderness of Sin.
To follow the scriptural narrative: God protected and guided the Israelites with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, sending a strong wind to part the waters of the Sea of Reeds so that the Israelites could escape from the pursuing Egyptian army. When they had reached the other side, God allowed the water to close over the Egyptians, drowning them. (In actuality, the sea may have been a marshy expanse that would not have impeded pedestrians but would have bogged down horse-drawn chariots.) Moses then led the Israelites to Mount Sinai, where on behalf of his people he received the tablets of the Covenant (commonly known as the Ten Commandments) from God, indicating God's intention to keep the covenant that God had made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Upon descending from the mountain, Moses found that his brother, Aaron, had allowed the people to worship a golden calf; enraged, Moses broke the law tablets that he had received from God and called upon the faithful of the tribe of Levi to slay those who had worshipped the idol. Because of their idolatry, God turned against the Israelites and sent a plague to punish them. Climbing the mountain again to speak with God, Moses attempted to atone for the sins of the people, and God gave Moses two new tablets to renew the covenant. When Moses returned to the people this time, his appearance was transfigured; thereafter, he was compelled to wear a veil, lest the Israelites die of fright. Under Moses' instructions, the people constructed an elaborate gilded ark to house the tablets and a tent to protect the ark. At some point God instructed the Israelites to enter Canaan, which was identified to them as the Promised Land, but when they refused to advance (their spies had said that the Canaanites were too powerful), God sentenced all of them to wander in the wilderness until the next generation had replaced the elder one. They did, however, manage to conquer the lands of the Amorites and of Bashan. Moses also transgressed one of God's commands, and for this he was forbidden from entering the Promised Land himself; tradition indicates that he spent the rest of his life conversing with God and writing the history of his people. When he died on Mount Nebo at the age of 120 (a propitious age according to Jewish tradition), Joshua, his top general, assumed leadership of the Israelites and assembled them to march west across the Jordan River into the Promised Land.
What does archaeology say about this story? The evidence is sketchy, but there are some indications that the biblical narrative has its basis in actual events. For example, an ancient Egyptian medical document known as the Brooklyn Papyrus (because it is owned by the Brooklyn Museum), dating from the 17th century b.c.e., is believed by some scholars to include slave names that are the same as some Israelite names found in the Bible. At the other end of the story, an Egyptian inscription known as the Merneptah Stele (dating from 1210 b.c.e.) is thought by some scholars to speak respectfully of a people known as Israel dwelling in Canaan. At best, the archaeological evidence would seem to suggest that the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt occurred sometime in the 16th century b.c.e., after the descendants of Jacob had been in Egypt for a little more than 200 years, and may be identical with the expulsion of the Hyksos during the reign of Ahmose (1570–1550 b.c.e.). (Some scholars, however, place the date of the Exodus in the 13th century b.c.e.) By the 13th century b.c.e. the Hebrews (called Hapiru) had conquered Canaan and consolidated into a nation of twelve tribes known as Israel. But scholars have yet to agree on any irrefutable evidence, and the debates over the reliability of the artifacts and the interpretation of their meaning, not to mention the efforts to translate and interpret the biblical passages themselves, have often become quite emotional. This is perhaps understandable, when the history of a faith is at stake.

Play N' Learn's playsets are remarkably durable, but even the strongest things need occasional maintenance and upkeep, and they're no different. It only takes two simple steps, though, to keep your playset in spectacular shape.
Power washing: Power washing uses highly pressurized water to clean and scour a surface in a way that can't really be done with regular washing, as it utilizes force as well as just rinsing. With Play N' Learn's power-washing package, you get a thorough cleaning of the playset's wood, rungs, tarps and accessories, renewing them and preventing structural erosion. Also, prior to sealing the playset's wood, it's very important to have it power-washed, as this prevents any dirt or foreign objects from being capped inside after sealing. Although pressure washing can be done on one's own, it's a challenging process that requires extra equipment to complete properly, which means it's definitely easier to leave it to the professionals to handle.
Normal maintenance: Play N' Learn offers a regular maintenance check for your playset. First, the maintenance involves staining and sealing the redwood frame, protecting it from weather and helping to resist deterioration and wear. While redwood is very strong on its own—stronger than most other woods that can be used in playsets—it's still important to make sure it is properly sealed and protected so as to extend the lifetime of the wood. Also, Play N' Learn's maintenance involves a routine tightening of the hardware, which should be done on a regular basis for safety purposes. Making sure that everything fits together nicely and securely is important.
Considering the importance of the people in your family who will most often be using the playset—your children—safety is of the highest priority, and these two offerings from Play N' Learn will ensure that not only is your playset the safest possible avenue of fun for your kids—it'll also last as long as possible, giving you your money's worth and your family a long-term source of happiness and joy.Tweet

When Fashion Meets Power - Robin Givhan
Time magazine's David Von Drehle and Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion critic Robin Givhan discuss When Fashion Meets Power in the sixth and final offering of the 2013 Dateline: Washington series.
As fashion critic for The Washington Post and now Newsweek and The Daily Beast, Givhan has generated controversy about what politicians wear, saying of one Hillary Clinton outfit, "Just look away!" She criticized Vice President Dick Cheney for wearing a green parka: "I don't want to be represented by someone … who looks like he's at a Green Bay Packer game."
Dateline: Washington is co-presented by the Kansas City Public Library and the Truman Library Institute. The series is made possible by grants from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Legacy Fund.

A Report to ARPA on Twenty-First Century Intelligent Systems
This report stems from an April 1994 meeting, organized by AAAI at the suggestion of Steve Cross and Gio Wiederhold.1 The purpose of the meeting was to assist ARPA in defining an agenda for foundational AI research. Prior to the meeting, the fellows and officers of AAAI, as well as the report committee members, were asked to recommend areas in which major research thrusts could yield significant scientific gain -- with high potential impact on DOD applications -- over the next ten years. At the meeting, these suggestions and their relevance to current national needs and challenges in computing were discussed and debated. An initial draft of this report was circulated to the fellows and officers. The final report has benefited greatly from their comments and from textual revisions contributed by Joseph Halpern, Fernando Pereira, and Dana Nau.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has told University of North Carolina graduates that last week's gay marriage vote shows there is still a lot of work to be done for civil rights in this country.
Bloomberg spoke Sunday to thousands of graduates at Kenan Memorial Stadium.
Bloomberg told them Americans have slowly understood since this country was founded that if the government can deny freedom to one person, it can deny freedom to everyone. The mayor says every generation has brought more freedom to this country, and he expects the latest generation to continue the work, especially after last Tuesday's vote approving a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in North Carolina.
Bloomberg also says the university's motto, "Light and Liberty," should be the defining spirit of this century.

The Clippers needed a jolt after a bad loss, so Matt Barnes did what comes naturally.
He reached for his cell phone.
"The infamous group text," Barnes said, smiling.
Barnes usually likes to dispatch profane jokes or random pictures of people who look like his teammates, but the small forward figured some motivation was needed after the Clippers lost to the short-handed New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
His message to his teammates was simple: They had let a game get away and needed to refocus 24 hours later against the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs.
"I just told everybody to lock in and get ready to go," Barnes...

Both teams struggled offensively in the first half, standing at a 3-3 tie six minutes into the contest. The Rams went on a 10-4 over the next four minutes, taking a 13-7 lead midway through the first half. Back and forth play throughout the remainder of the half, sent the Rams to the locker room with a 28-23 halftime advantage. Senior guards Kimberly Blakney (Brooklyn, N.Y./Benjamin Banneker) and Tiffara Steward (Elmont, N.Y./Sewanhaka) led the way for Farmingdale State with eight points apiece at the break. The Rams shot 24% from the floor, while St. Joseph's shot 33% from the field in the first half.
Farmingdale opened the second half on an 8-0 run, extending the lead to 36-23 before Carissa Stack (Patchogue, N.Y./Half Hollow Hills West) answered with a three pointer for the Golden Eagles. The Rams offense came to life, scoring 50 points in the second half and going on to defeat St. Joe's 78-65.
Blakney had a game-high 19 points, 12 rebounds, three blocked shots and three steals, while Steward and senior guard Kamaya Miller (Brooklyn, N.Y./Midwood) each scored 12 for Farmingdale. Senior guard Juanita Chappel (Westbury, N.Y./Westbury) recorded 10 points and had five assists.

The Red Rose City was rocking to smooth reggae last weekend, as more than 40 people streamed into Chastain's Studio Lofts on Main Street to hear Lancaster's five-man band Sugarshine.
The roots reggae ensemble are lifelong friends and range in age from 27 to 44. The members have played in various bands together through the years. But this combination seems a bit magical to them.
"We knew we had something special," said Stuart Parsons, 41, keyboard player.
Former Lancaster High star basketball player Ron Trapps has returned to Lancaster after earning two college degrees to give back to the community where he was raised.
Trapps, 24, is Palmetto Citizens Against Sexual Assault's new Engaging Men Project coordinator.
The result of a three-year, $346,680 federal grant, the Engaging Men Project aims to educate young men on sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking. The grant will fund training, forums and annual men's conferences.

If you've lost a gold ring or any other valuable metal object, an area metal detecting and relic club may be able to help you.
Donnie Catoe, president of the Sandhill Metal Detecting and Relic Club in Pageland, said members of the club not only hunt for precious metals and artifacts as a hobby, but also help people in the community find lost objects, whether it be an old high school graduation ring or a precious jewel.
Ollie Alexander has a soothing, calming presence. She seems full of wisdom and humility. She draws you to her, like a warm fire on a winter's night.
Alexander, 68, moves gracefully and quietly through a room. She appears much younger than her age. She commands the language and expresses herself with ease and graceful gestures. She believes she has a God-given purpose and wants to help others discover theirs.

Mom was not one to go out and socialize a lot. The people she was closest to were her family and her many church friends. She loved people and was patient, giving, caring and kind to all.

For the past seven years, farming has been a passion for Rachel Hovis. Her work and dedication to farming led her to receive the 2016 American FFA Degree, along with 18 others in the state.
"It's the highest honor an FFA member can get," Hovis said.
The Future Farmers of America Degree is awarded to students based on their leadership abilities, their participation in at least 50 hours of community service with three different organizations, their supervised agricultural experience and their time and cost investments.
As summer fades into fall, it's time to help lawns recover from summer stress and prepare for the winter ahead.
Keep mowing your lawn as long as it continues to grow. Grow cool-season grasses like bluegrass, fescue and ryegrass, and you want it 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches tall. Warm-season grasses like Bermuda, carpetgrass, centipede and zoysia should be grown at 1 to 2 inches tall while St. Augustine should a bit higher, 2 to 3 inches, for best results.
Catawba Nation potter Keith Brown is coming to the University of South Carolina Lancaster's Native American Studies Center for four-month artist-in-residence program sponsored by the S.C. Arts Commission.
Brown will be at the center in downtown Lancaster from Aug. 25 through Dec. 17, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and every other Saturday.
Brown will provide visitors with demonstrations, share how Catawba pottery is made and explain the history of the tradition.

Em pics
Eminem was shooting a new video in LA today. I really like when he doesn't wear sweatpants. I really like when he wears real clothes that are fitted and look good. He looks good. He was in a good mood too. Eminem is usually not all that friendly with paps in candids. Half the time the shots are unusable because he has his head buried into his chest. But he actually waved this time. To me, I imagine.
We wouldn't be too public about it though. Like, I wouldn't even go to the Grammys with him. I'd watch from home. But maybe not Detroit. This is a reoccurring problem in my screenplay. Like, he's loyal to Detroit and that's a good thing but, um, I don't want to move there. And he probably wouldn't want to live in Vancouver. Toronto might be a good compromise.
Anyway, on February 13 Em is performing at the Grammy Awards where he leads all nominees. February 13 is also the BAFTAs. That's going to be a monster Sunday.

During an episode from the latest season of "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," Titus Andromedon explains the lack of activity at a construction site by passing along some insider information from his hardhat boyfriend: "Mikey told me 'Shark Week' is now a union holiday."
If Discovery's annual salute to the sharp-toothed guardians of the ocean warrants a vacation, then Syfy's upcoming latest "Sharknado" installment marks Christmas in July. "Sharknado: The 4th Awakens" arrives on Sunday, offering a refreshing splash of summer camp at a time when we all could use a break from real disasters.
It's been three years since the first legions of insatiable sharks got swept up in a tornado and attacked Los Angeles, becoming an instant and unexpected pop culture phenomenon – essentially sharks propelled by Twitter snark. The gloriously silly TV movie represented less a commentary on global warming than a spoof of 1970s disaster flicks, complete with hammy acting and the greatest chainsaw-aided escape from the jaws of death in entertainment history.
The laughter spawned sequels in 2014 (the sharks invade New York) and 2015 (sea-dwelling sharks swallow political sharks in Washington) as the series got better by getting worse.
Pushing most movie franchises past three installments, as George Lucas learned the hard way, doesn't always fly with fans. So perhaps it's appropriate that the title of the new "Sharknado" chapter plays off "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens."
Timing might help the odds of success for "Sharknado: The 4th Awakens," in which the airborne predators hit the Las Vegas strip. There's an almost Trumpian theme to the series – warnings of disaster awaiting us at every turn – not to mention some more direct Donald Trump links: In the last "Sharknado," Mark Cuban, another rich guy from TV (he's a mainstay of "Shark Tank") and a frequent Trump critic, did a great job playing an over-the-top tough-guy president in last year's installment.
Gary Busey and Cheryl Tiegs, both veterans of "Celebrity Apprentice," join this year's cast. Returning as the aptly named Fin, the only man able to protect us against the flying sharks, is Ian Ziering, whom Trump fired "Celebrity Apprentice" after the actor set a booze jingle to "La Cucharacha." Tara Reid (whose character apparently survived a does-she-live-or-die online poll) and David Hasselhoff round out the C-list cast of the B-movie parody.
If nothing else, "Sharknado: The 4th Awakens," offers a chance to veg out as the carnivorous sharks chow down. We might not need a week to celebrate, but the laughs hopefully will make some uncertain weeks ahead more bearable.

Monarchs: Workshop focuses on butterfly's return: November 15, 2013
When the visitor wearing a robe fit for a king flitted into Coyote Trails Nature Center in Medford last summer, Molly Kreuzman was more than ready for royalty.
The grounds and facility manager for the nonprofit center had just read an article about a local retired scientist working to attract more monarch butterflies to the region by encouraging residents to plant milkweed, the fluttery creature's food source.
If you go:
What: "Monarchs, Milkweed & Seeds in a Ball" workshop
Where: Coyote Trails Nature Center, US Cellular Community Park, 2931 S. Pacific Highway, Medford
When: 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday
Sponsor: Coyote Trails Nature Center
Cost: $8 per person. Preregistration required.
Information: Call 541-282-8577 or see coyotetrails.org __________________________________________________________
I found out about the milkweed and the monarch project from an article in the Mail Tribune about Tom Landis," she said, referring to the forester who was the U.S. Forest Service's top nursery specialist in the West before he retired.
"And then I saw the monarchs that come through here last summer," she added.
Inspired, she scheduled a workshop at the educational facility called "Monarchs, Milkweed & Seeds in a Ball."
The event will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday at the center, which is at US Cellular Community Park, 2931 S. Pacific Highway, Medford.
Preregistration is required for the workshop, which costs $8 per person. For more information, call 541-282-8577 or see coyotetrails.org.
The workshop will be capped at about 25 people. If more apply, a second workshop will likely be held, she said.
During the first half of the workshop, Landis will give a Powerpoint presentation on why monarchs, once a common local sight during the summers, are now seldom seen.
Landis has noted that many experts believe the decline in monarch populations is partly because of the removal of milkweed and nectar plants along their migration routes. He will talk about the native species of milkweed plants, which monarch caterpillars must have to survive, how to identify them and how to propagate them.
"Tom is just a font of knowledge," Kreuzman said. "He has so much information about monarchs and milkweeds."
During the second portion of the workshop, local resident Gail Saito will teach a hands-on class about how to make seed balls containing milkweed seeds.
"Gail will show people how to make a seed ball by putting seeds on compost, then rolling them in red clay," Molly Kreuzman explained. "After the first frost, you throw the ball out on the landscape and they will germinate that spring. You don't have to plant them."
"Everything out here is for fun and for teaching," Kreuzman said, noting the workshop will accomplish both goals.
Molly and her husband, Joe, who started Coyote Trails School of Nature in 2003, have been holding classes at the center since they were given stewardship of the 7-acre parcel bordering Bear Creek in Medford two years ago. They have a 15-year lease with the Medford Parks and Recreation Department.
The center provides a rare natural area within an urban environment, indicated Molly Kreuzman, who works as a full-time volunteer at the site.
"Kids don't get to run and 'whoop!' anymore," she said. "This allows them to do that, and to learn about nature."
The center also is a place of learning for adults, she is quick to observe. The center does not receive tax dollars but operates through direct donations, grants and volunteers, she said.
For example, the pollinator garden, also known as the Bee Tree Garden, was built by volunteers from the Ford Family Foundation.
The garden is just past the two massive black walnut trees she has nicknamed "Harold and Maude." The walnuts are evidence of a farm that once stood on the property.
A sign reads, "Welcome to the Bee Tree Garden." Ostensibly, the sign is for bipeds, but would also serve as a guide to English-reading monarchs.
"It will draw butterflies, bees and hummingbirds," she said, noting most of the plants are flowers that will attract pollinators.
"But we don't have any milkweed yet," she said. "My hope is to have various patches of milkweed around the center so monarchs will flit around. We want a place where monarchs will stop in and hang around."

Shovel-ready, job ready
Along I-75 and County Road 25A sits a 476-acre parcel of land which can be subdivided into shovel ready sites ranging from 40 to 400 acre plots.
This large piece of land is a Ohio Certified Job Ready Site (JRS), which means the land is ready to be built on by any interested industrial companies. The area is known as the West Central Ohio Industrial Center (WCOIC).
According to Greg Myers, director of the Wapakoneta Area Economic Development Council, Ohio created the JRS program in 2005 with the objective of creating large, fully developed industrial sites that could be provided to companies or to site consulting firms that are representing companies. These sites have been improved, analyzed, made ready for transportation like rail access and they are ready. They are not theoretical sites, they are currently certified JRS.
"My job was to create that site and get a grant application approved to be able to get the capital dollars necessary to do what was required," Myers said. "Then follow through with all of the certification standards and get the site certified by a third party consulting firm on behalf of the state."
So in 2008, that was completed and the site became certified.
"Between what the city has invested historically, the $2.5 million in grant dollars we've received from the state, the site is shovel ready," Myers said. "Shortly there after it was certified by CSX select site, so it has dual certification as an Ohio Job Ready Site and as a CSX select site."
With a JRS, the first point of contact for Auglaize County is through the JobsOhio organization, which is the new privatized approach to economic development that Governor Kasich put in place.
"It has a central office in Columbus and then it has six regional partner offices around the state," Myers said. "We're aligned with Dayton, Auglaize County is part of the Dayton Development Coalition, which is called JobsOhio West."
For the full story, see the Saturday, April 12 edition of the Wapakoneta Daily News.

We had been looking for over a year for a home to buy in Playa del Carmen and had just about given up. Our main challenges? Location and financing. We wanted something in a family-friendly community, close to the ocean, quiet, safe and charming. The financing options we´d found on our own were not attractive, and we thought we´d be stuck renting for another few years. The first time we met Diego Garcia from Moskito, we immediately felt that we´d found the right man for the job. His professio…
My experience with Moskito and particularly with Gabriela Gonzalez, was excellent. She was always attentive and willing to answer all my questions, which I believe, I had many! That allowed me to have enough of the elements to make a decision and in the end, to be convinced that I have made a good purchase. Thank you very much.
Gabriela, my husband and I are very happy with the service Moskito offered us and especially with you. We have no complaint of any kind, on the contrary I am very grateful for your services and especially for the honest patience you had always to clarify all my doubts and mistrust that appear when having to pay out such an important amount of money. Greetings and I hope we have the Opportunity to work together again!
Since we got in touch with Moskito real estate, we receive the best attention, they showed great interest in our needs and expressed their desire to find the option that met what we were looking for, from the beginning Ms. Gabriela González showed us different options that could please us and pointed us the advantages and disadvantages of each property. We are extremely pleased with the attention given by Gaby Gonzalez at all times until the final purchase
To the team at Moskito, I have only the best things to say: as investors we require specific information, prompt response times, friendly service and most importantly…KNOW HOW. They have exceeded our expectations as far as higher end properties, carefully selected to maximize our budget and our very limited time frame. They know their stuff. One of the owners, Diego took care of us as well and responded to some more specific questions referring to Property Management and was very patient with us…
It is with pleasure and honor that I express the satisfaction of having come across Moskito Real Estate. Along with many joining the ranks of retirement, and looking forward to enjoying life away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, I began to nurture the idea of acquiring property in Mexico. In doing so, I had the good fortune to establish contact with Mr. Diego Garcia at Moskito Real Estate. A long time dream of retiring to a place near the ocean, with year-around warm weather, tro…
We are very satisfy with the services of Moskito Real Estate, in particular with Diego Garcia who has been very professional, hearing our needs,very patient and reactive to our requests.Diego walk us through the whole process, from the research of the apartment until completing the transaction – communication with the lawyers and with the company that made some works after we receive the property-We definitely recommend Moskito to any potential buyer._____________________________________…
Dear Diego, Just a few lines to thank you for the kindness you had with Romeo and me in our search of a beach house, from the beginning you were very professional, always on time for appointments, meeting us in your office to find together the best option, advising and walking us through until the end of the operation, until 1 February that you gave us the deed of sale. Thanks for everything, it is great to meet professional people like you. Best regards Magdalena Sarquís
Moskito is the best agency for buying a house in Playa del Carmen, thank you guys!
I had the pleasure of working with Diego Garcia when I recently purchased a home in Playa del Carmen with his help. It was fast and easy and his connections in the community were very helpful. I'd recommend him without reservation. Elliot B. – Silver Spring, US

Oregon jail failed to hold man who killed 2 women
PORTLAND — An Oregon man who killed two people in Portland last year was released from an overcrowded county jail just weeks before the first killing, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Crowded jails and early release have become common in Oregon, especially in forest regions such as Clatsop County where local governments have historically depended on federal timber subsidies to finance basic governmental services. But several counties have reduced jail capacity in recent years as subsidies have shrunk or disappeared.
Mark Beebout, 40, was arrested in Clatsop County in May and faced a hearing on allegations he violated a restraining order that a Clatsop County woman had against him, District Attorney Josh Marquis said. He was released days later when the jail reached its capacity.
Shortly before the release, voters in the county rejected a bond measure to finance a jail expansion.
Beebout later failed to show up for his hearing, and the body of a teenage girl was found June 26 at a Portland park. Authorities said Beebout killed a woman who volunteered at a homeless shelter in July.
Beebout met the teenager, who was originally from California, at the shelter. Her body was identified months later. Beebout has since pleaded guilty to the two killings and has been sentenced to life without parole.
"It's enormously tragic in a case like this," Marquis The Associated Press. If the county had been able to hold Beebout, "there's a good chance that one or two of these young women would be alive," he said.
In many cases, the jails make releases based on data that go into a model called a "matrix" that tries to gauge how dangerous a suspect is and how likely the suspect is to appear in court.
Marquis said the factors typically are the nature of the offense and the prisoner's history of showing up for court dates.
Beebout had been in the Clatsop County jail earlier in 2012, when he was arrested and served 30 days for failing to register as a sex offender, the Daily Astorian reported.
Marquis said the registration requirement was a result of Beebout's conviction in California for sexually abusing a person younger than 16. Beebout served nearly four years in California. He had also served time in Illinois for theft.

New York Air National Guard Col. John Higgins, a master navigator with more than 3,500 hours flying in the F-4 Phantom fighter, the F-111 bomber and the C-130 Hercules, will replace Col. Jim McCready as commander of the 107th Airlift Wing at the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station on Saturday, Jan. 12.
Higgins, who has been vice commander of the wing since August 2011, previously served as the Air National Guard adviser to the Air Force Special Operations Command and as Air National Guard adviser for Air Force Strategic Planning.
"He joins one of the best units in the country; led and supported by a team of talented professionals," said Maj. Gen. Patrick Murphy, the adjutant general of New York.
During his tour at National Guard Bureau in Washington, D.C., from 2002 to 2009, Higgins was responsible for all Air National Guard unit mission conversions and served as deputy division chief overseeing the mobilization of more than 35,000 Air National Guard personnel in the global war on terror.
As commander of the 107th Airlift Wing, Higgins will be responsible for the deployment and employment of more than 800 assigned personnel and equipment, ensuring these assets are available to support all state and national requirements.
Higgins holds a bachelor of arts degree from Buffalo State College and a master's degree from Troy State University in Alabama.
Higgins was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1983 and served as a F-111E "Aardvark" instructor weapons system officer, chief of training, and wing plans officer, for the 20th Tactical Fighter Wing. He was based at the Royal Air Force Base Upper Heyford in Great Britain from 1987 to 1991 and served in the 914th Airlift Wing at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, from 1991 to 1997.
He also served in the 8th Special Operations Squadron and Air Force Special Operations Headquarters at Hurlburt Field, Fla., from 1997 to 2001 and was a member of the 109th Airlift Wing in Scotia, N.Y., in 2001-02.
He is a Western New York native and currently resides in Grand Island with his wife Lisa.

While you expand...
Over the holidays, here's Megan Fox in Hawaii with Brian Austin Green, not an ounce of fat on her. This body is a combination of youth and willpower. I mean, you have to be a disciplined bitch to maintain that kind of leanness. It's a discipline I don't have right now. Looking at her doesn't help. Then again, dimsum, like the real kind, with the grease floating around the little dish, probably isn't on her list of permissible foods. What's life without a rice noodle roll with bbq pork?
I call your attention now to Megan's chest cavity, all that bone supporting her fakes. Jacek has already performed extensive photo analysis on these. There's no way those are real, though they may have been downsized to compensate for her weight loss. Michael Bay made her gain weight for Transformers, and she was STILL tiny. Can you imagine how small she is in person now?
Megan has been working on Friends With Kids, written and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt, Jon Hamm's girlfriend. And I know that's gross to identify her this way but it's not like Westfeldt is a household name. Yet. And Jon's in the movie too. It's a good move for Megan as her first hire after getting dumped from Transformers 3. No, her career isn't over. She has something like 20 million Facebook followers. Facebook is the reason Vin Diesel still has a career. And Megan isn't half as objectionable as he is. So no, it's not even close to being dead and done for Megan Fox. And, frankly, I don't want it to be. There are a lot more people who should be exiled before her.

At this point, a full decade or so since the sub-genre re-ignited in a significant way, we have seen virtually every kind of zombie movie possible. And on TV, The Walking Dead affords us our weekly dose of zombie apocalypse action too.
On one hand, it might be tempting to gaze at all these zombie productions and yell "overkill," or some such thing.
I see it differently, however.
The surfeit of zombie films -- in conjunction with the rise of indie/DIY horror -- has permitted the genre to expand in new and unexpected directions.
If there weren't approximately a hundred variations of the zombie film being made each and every year, would we have the creative space for perfect little cinematic grace notes like The Battery (2014), or this film, Maggie (2015)?
I suspect not.
By now, the parameters of the zombie plague are so well-known -- don't get bitten, shoot the zombies in the head, etc. -- that some movies have chosen to innovate not by going big and epic, but by doing the opposite; by exploring the world of the walking dead on a small and intimate basis.
Directed by Henry Hobson, Maggie chooses this route.
The film has received mixed reviews thus far, and I believe the negative reviews have more to do with audience expectations than any particular quality of the film itself.
Some people think of zombies and they want another World War Z (2013) or some such effort: a gory war story told on a humongous scale.
Maggie is pretty clearly not that thing.
On the contrary, it's a sweet, unassuming film about a young girl who is going to die from the zombie plague, Maggie (Abigail Breslin), and her heart-broken, soul-broken father, Wade (Arnold Schwarzenegger).
In true Hamlet-like fashion, Wade is paralyzed about what to do for Maggie. He can't bear to kill her, or rob her of a minute of her life.
But nor can he allow her to continue suffering, or become a danger to others…including his wife and other children.
Tear off Maggie's genre elements and what you get here is the simple story of a child with a fatal disease, a child with no possible future. Her father wants her to experience that future, but knows it is not to be.
But if he can give her one more day, or a day and a half of that future…isn't that a victory?
Maggie is nothing more and nothing less than the above-description suggests. It's a gray, grim character piece that happens to be highlighted by some surprisingly-effective acting from action star, Schwarzenegger. He doesn't do his standard action man shtick here: a wink and a gag, coupled with his unmatchable charisma and screen presence.
Instead, we see the character's crushed heart, and total incapacity to resolve Maggie's dilemma.
As is often the case, it behooves you, going in to a film like Maggie to know what sort of film you're watching. This isn't a decapitation-a-minute gore fest. This isn't an action film at all. Maggie is a sensitive and at times heart-wrenching drama about a family that could be yours…or mine.
On those grounds, Maggie is beautiful effort, an elegiac father-daughter love story.
"You shouldn't have brought me back."
In modern America, a necro-ambulist plague infects much of the populace. Urban areas are hardest hit, but some rural areas remain largely unscathed. The U.S. government has established a protocol for dealing with those infected; those who have been bitten by the walking dead. The suffering are allowed to go home with their loved ones for a time, and then -- when "the turn" goes into full effect -- are shipped off to quarantine camps, where they will die.
Weeks after she ran away, young Maggie Vogel (Breslin) is found by her farmer father, Wade (Schwarzenegger) in a hospital ward for the infected. She's been bitten on the arm, and it's only a matter of time before she will die.
A kindly doctor informs Wade that first Maggie will lose her appetite, and then she'll get it back…but for human flesh. A sign of the "turn" is an increased ability to smell…meat. Worse, Maggie's disease is progressing more rapidly than normal. She has very little time left…
Wade takes Maggie home to the family farm, where her step-mother, Caroline (Joely Richardson) is understandably anxious about her presence. The Vogels' two younger children are sent away with relatives during the duration of Maggie's care.
Over time, Wade is forced to confront his responsibility vis-à-vis his daughter. A neighbor has kept her daughter and husband -- both infected -- at home too, but they escape and present a danger to the Vogels. Wade is forced to kill them outright, rather than let them attack. He is warned by a local sheriff not to allow the same thing in his house; not to keep Maggie at home so long that she is a danger to others.
Meanwhile, Maggie confronts the idea that she has no future. She goes out for an evening with friends, including a boy who is bound for quarantine, and dreads the possibility. Soon Caroline leaves the house, and Maggie watches as Wade agonizes over his choices.
Then, Maggie's "turn" begins. Her eyes go black, and she begins to sense those around her not as people, but as food.
The time for action is coming, but Wade can't bring himself to do what he must…
"Think about what you did today. And what you may have to do tomorrow."
There are very few fireworks in Maggie. The film is not about zombies overrunning our infrastructure, or laying siege to our cities and communities. Instead, the film adopts a very simple premise. Early on, a physician tells Wade what to expect, and then we follow Maggie through the stages of the plague. Remembering the doctor's words, we understand where Maggie "is" on the plague continuum. There is no happy ending and, indeed, no expectation of one.
One of the best scenes in the film sees that physician talking frankly with Wade about his options. This in-mourning dad can take his daughter immediately to quarantine, a kind of hell-on-Earth death-camp. He can give her a government-made death cocktail to kill her, but she will suffer immensely because the cocktail is painful.
Or Wade can end it quickly, with a bullet to the head, ending Maggie's suffering once and for all.
Not one of those options is a good one, pretty plainly. And Wade spends the majority of the film waiting, attempting to decide on his course of actions. He waits and he waits, and Maggie grows worse.
He waits because he can't bear for her to die.
He waits because he can't before her to live in her condition.
As the father, I sympathized completely with Wade's inaction. He knows he is going to lose his beloved child, but he doesn't want to take one minute of life from that child. He wants to wait till the last possible moment, till the moment when her humanity is eclipsed, and he knows she must die.
But, moment after moment, encounter after encounter, he finds that there is some of "Maggie" still left in that "turning" zombie. Every time he sees that human quality, he -- again -- can't act. As viewers, we begin to doubt, frankly, that he is capable of doing what everyone tells him he must do.
I don't know, honestly, that I could do any better, in the same situation.
My wife tells me she would choose option three for our son -- get it over with quickly and painlessly -- and then turn the gun on herself rather than live with the heart-break. Her reasoning is that it is wrong to let someone we love suffer. I hear and understand that rationale, and perhaps I'm a coward, or simply weak. But I don't think I could pull the trigger on my son until I knew, 100% that there was no other option; that my child was really and truly lost.
And even then, I don't know if I could do it.
Maggie is the kind of film that makes you consider such questions. What would you do if your child contracted a plague, and was a danger to others?
On a more mundane level, what would you do if your child contracted, simply, a terminal illness?
How would you talk to that child about the elephant in the room: the idea that he or she simply has run out of future? The parent-child bond is one about learning and preparing, conveying knowledge to the young. Suddenly, that contract is broken, because the child will never grow up, never carry the responsibility to be an adult, and go through life. What's left to talk about? To connect over?
We see in one scene, as Wade focuses on the past, and the way he and Maggie's mother met. Shared history is the only thing left when the future is gone.
Other characters in the film, including Caroline, periodically warn Wade that Maggie isn't herself anymore. And even Maggie coaches her Dad on what he must do.
"You have to do it," she tells him.
Yet still, Wade can't bring himself to act. Perhaps there is a part of him that would rather die with Maggie than live without her. Again -- and as I think my wife was trying to express in her own way -- I sympathize with that instinct.
Overall, I appreciate how sensitively and intelligently (but not cloyingly…) the movie explores its themes. In particular, it seemed to recognize a key fact about human nature.
You are always certain how strong you are...until it is your loved ones who are in pain. And then certainty flies out the window. Maggie captures that notion splendidly.
Maggie presents a haunting scenario to think about, and Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers a remarkable performance here. He prowls the film with a hang-dog expression, and an air of defeat. I remember being none-too-impressed with his performance as a grieving husband and Dad in End of Days (1999). I didn't feel he had the depth, there, to nail that fallen character. But here, he absolutely nails the essence of his character, Wade. He carries an invisible weight on his shoulders, and there's a sweet gentleness to his interactions with Maggie. Wade is never disgusted, horrified or scared by her. But he is a wreck, facing what for him is the end of his universe, the death of his child. I have never seen Schwarzenegger give such an internal performance before, and his work here is accomplished and award-worthy.
Maggie's denouement, finds an intriguing answer for Wade's existential dilemma. I don't want to give it away, but it stems from Maggie's strength, and --as it should -- from her love for her father. Maggie's final act in this life is one that takes her father's experience fully into account, and goes from there.
What finally emerges then, is a portrait of a loving family facing a horrible situation. The love that Wade and Maggie share for one another is the thing that makes the pain so difficult to contend with, but in the final analysis it is also the quality that gives both individuals the strength to go on and do what they must.
In terms of its imagery, Maggie exists in a kind of de-saturated world of gray, where all joy and hope has been chemically extracted from the visuals. In a world without a future, how can the sky, the landscape, or the people be anything but gray? The film's visuals are quite lovely at times, though for some stretches it looks like the Vogel's live on Matthew McConaughey's farm from Interstellar (2014)
Maggie is a sad -- nay grim -- film. Yet it is one I wholeheartedly recommend. You've seen zombies of all types before – fast and slow, brain-eating or not -- but Maggie's gift to us is worth noting. The film takes the world of the zombie apocalypse and makes it feel personal and close in a way that few genre films have managed.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
When the Washington, D.C. District Court announced that the Beaumont Independent School District trustee election would be placed on hold and not be validated for May 11, it also asked the interested parties in the case to submit additional information. The case was heard before the court to deliberate whether or not a Texas 9th Court of Appeals ruling constituted "voting changes" that would need to be pre-cleared through the Department of Justice.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

The search feature on this site is awesome, but with so many people referring to templates by wizardofflight for example, it is becoming more and more difficult to find the thread where the patterns actually are located. Maybe it is just me, but I would like to see a stickied thread for patterns and templates. P.s. Dialup = bantha fodder :angry
